“Extremely thoughtful amenities from coffee in room (which is a rare luxury) to the presidential inspired rooms —even bathrooms are roomy, fit for a small entourage. My breakfast omelet is made to order and is personally served by the host. A lovely stay, would highly recommend Abigail Inn for anyone who enjoys a quiet, thoughtful, and historically inspiring venue.”
